Sunset Overdrive Chaos Squad

To start Chaos Squad, head over to one of the Photo-Booths scattered across the Sunset City and wait for other players to join in! Once this is done, all 8 players will be teleported to one location where the Chaos Squad will take place.

Your primary task should be to accumulate a high score. With a high score, you will receive additional Spinners which will allow you to receive different rewards. These rewards range from Cash, Overcharge, Weapons, to Upgraded AMPS and Upgraded Weapons.

Also note that some of the rewards acquired from the Chaos Squad cannot be acquired from anywhere else in the game so it’s a good idea to focus on getting a higher score.

Upon the completion of Night Defense at Floyd’s Local Hideout, you will receive a score which will further enhance by having a higher multiplier. In order to reach a higher multiplier, you need to complete different Bonus Challenges, Objectives, and having a higher Chaos Level.

Depending upon your final score, you will receive upto 5 Spinners, each of which will contain a reward.

Pre-Game Loadouts / Setup
The beginning missions of the Chaos Squad are pretty straightforward and require you to take out a small battalion of Scabs, OD, or Fizzco Robots. You can take out these enemies with almost any setup, but it is always good to experiment with different things.

Things get a little tougher when you are provided with Night Defense Mission. During this mission, you’ll be confined in a close space and asked to take out OD. At this point, you need to focus on Weapons, AMPS, and Overdrives that work best against these enemies.

One important thing to consider during Night Defense Mission is your Chaos Level. The Chaos Level that you earned during a mission will directly tied to OD’s health in consequent missions.

It is highly recommended to play objective and have a decent communication with your team-mates to successfully complete Chaos Squad. Careful use of Weapons, Traps, and communication will certainly get you far.

Also keep in mind that Chaos Squad is extremely different from single-player campaign. What worked for you during the single-player campaign may or may not work in Chaos Squad. Therefore, it is a good idea to experiment with different options and choose the ones that work best for you.

When we talk about Traps, one of the best to use in Chaos Squad is Senor Freeze which will allow you to stun hordes of OD in one place which are otherwise pretty hard to take out.

Furthermore, Pandora’s Box works really well if you’re planning to deliver DPS. Another thing that you can do is to place Upgraded Acid Sprinklers near the spawn/entry points.

Missions in Chaos Squad
Although missions in Chaos Squad require all players to work together to complete certain objectives, it doesn’t hurt to stay ahead of the pack.

In addition to the primary objectives, players are also asked to complete a couple of Bonus Challenges. These Bonus Challenges can be individual or team-based depending upon the nature of them.

It is a good idea to complete these Bonus Challenges as it will improve your final scores greatly!

Each area in the Sunset City has its own set of Chaos Squad Missions. Keep on progressing through the missions to reach the final stage: a Night Defense Battle at Floyd’s Local Hideout.

Depending upon your performance, you will gain bonuses during the last battle. One important thing to consider during Chaos Squad is your Chaos Level.

Chaos Level is tied to enemies’ HP during the final Night Defense Battle at Floyd’s. In the section below, I’ve provided a complete list of missions found in Chaos Squad along with their brief tips, objectives, and Bonus Challenges:
